Corporate Solicitor

2 years minimum PQE
Hybrid/Cheltenham
£65,000-£85,000 DOE

Are you a qualified solicitor with a minimum of 2 years PQE with some experience in corporate or commercial law?

Would you like to work for a growing, boutique firm in the heart of Cheltenham?

If so, we could have just the opportunity for you!

If you want to progress in your career as a Corporate Solicitor joining a firm where you’ll be trusted, supported, and challenged from day one, Sherborne’s should be your next move 

Hire Purpose is delighted to be working with Sherbornes Solicitors for this key hire in the corporate team. Sherbornes is a straight-talking, business-savvy firm with clients across the UK, from sole traders to household name PLCs. They don’t do fluff or hierarchy, they simply deliver outstanding legal advice the way they would want it themselves, pragmatic, progressive, and human centric.

The role:

Working across a wide range of corporate and commercial matters, from shareholder agreements and company articles to acquisitions, disposals, and fundraising deals; you’ll also support SME clients with day-to-day contracts like supply agreements and terms of business.

You’ll be given you lots of responsibility but will also be fully supported to not only excel but advance your career and develop your skill set. You’ll also be encouraged to get out and about into the business community, attending exciting events, promoting yourself and the Sherbornes brand.

The team are a collaborative and generous one that are happy to share knowledge and coffee rounds!

Commercial or corporate experience is a bonus, but if you’ve got the right mindset, the team will help build your expertise!

Who we’re looking for:

You must be trained in England and Wales, (or CILEX) and have a minimum of 2 years PQE. With Sherbornes it’s not about where you trained or what grade you achieved. What matters is your attitude and how you use the law to help clients get results. It’s about how you work as a team player.

You’ll need a solid grounding, a sense of humour, and the ability to think like a lawyer and as a businessperson.

This is a Cheltenham-based role. If you’re not local, you must be happy to relocate. 

What you’ll get:

You’ll be part of a flexible, fun, dynamic and supportive working environment, where you can choose a hybrid or full-time office model.

The holiday allowance is 24 days holiday plus bank holidays including your birthday off and a culture of trust and autonomy.

It’s a dynamic, top tier and collaborative team where you’ll be working alongside the partners.

We guarantee that all applications will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
